See, woefully ignorant of Church terminology as I am, it would never
have occurred to me that there was such a word as "catechist", and if
there were I would have assumed by analogy with other -ism/-ist pairs
that it referred more generally to someone who believed in the
doctrine explained by the catechsm, not specifically an instructor...
But Now I Know, and Knowing is Half the Battle!
